Below is an extensive
table of foods and corresponding "calories" and
nutrients. Calories offer us a way of comparing the
"fuel" values of different foods. "Calories",
as we know them, are actually kilocalories, or kcal, which are
actually 1000 calories. A calorie is the amount of
"energy" it takes to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree
Celsius (1.8 degrees Farenheit).

The below listings are based on a 100 gram serving of each (the equivalent
of 3.53 ounces), listed in a descending order from the highest amount of kcal
to the lowest amount of kcal. The sourse of the data listed here is the USDA
Nutrient Database: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl
